!! Dagbert Endless
The son of Lord Grimwald and descended from Petrello, Dagbert can manipulate water.
* AccidentalMurder: Dagbert claims that his drowning Tancred was this.
* ArchEnemy: He's described as this to Tancred, both being descended from Petrello. It comes true by the end of the same book, as they have a showdown, if it can be called that--it was more of a CurbStompBattle on Tancred's end, prompting Dagbert to drown him in the next book in revenge.
* ArchnemesisDad: A curse on Dagbert Endless' family ensures that when he turns thirteen, he will have to battle his father, Lord Grimwald, to the death. He wins.
* DeadpanSnarker: Gets shades of this in the series.

* IDidntMeanToKillHim: Dagbert claims this when he drowns Tancred. He says that he only meant to scare him but lost control.

* [[DaddysLittleVillain Mommy’s Little Villain]]: He’s the apple of his mother’s eye, and is accordingly immature and spoiled.
* {{Foil}}: For Charlie. He’s a charismatic young boy who gains friends/allies easily and is the descendant of both the Red King and another powerful magician.

* MookDescendant: Is this for Count Harken, who doesn’t seem to care about or be at all impressed with him.

* SelectiveMagnetism: He attracts ''everything'', so much so that he’s noted to have bits and pieces of leaves, pencil shavings, paper, and more sticking to him at any given time. As noted above, this power also extends to his personality, giving him a good helping of charisma despite being noted as a horrible brat by several characters.

* AnimalTalk: Has the ability to understand and speak to animals.
* DisabilityImmunity: Billy's albinism gives him poor eyesight, which makes him immune to HypnoticEyes.
* HappilyAdopted: Is happily adopted by Lyell and Amy at the end of the series. Subverted in the fourth book, however, with his temporary adoption by [[AbusiveParents Florence and Usher de Grey]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Switches to the bad side for a book and a half before rejoining the heroes.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: When Charlie (rightfully) accuses him of selling him out to the Bloors, Billy's response is that he just wants to be adopted, and if that's so wrong--and indeed, it's his motivation up until he realizes that the Bloors will never make good on their word.
* ImmuneToMindControl: Manfred's brainwashing doesn't work on him, and neither does Yolanda's.
* InterspeciesFriendship: Is good friends with Ezekiel's dog Blessed, until Billy kicks Blessed in the second book. Later Billy also becomes best friends with Mr Boldova's rat Rembrandt, and ends up looking after it when Mr Boldova leaves Bloor's Academy for good.
** He also becomes friends with the blue boa, Solomon, after the events of the third book.
* KidsAreCruel: Billy kicks Blessed repeatedly in book two, because he refused to give him the Time Twister. This causes Blessed to stop speaking to him for a while.

* TalkingToAnimals: Billy can talk to animals, something seemingly common for a descendant of Amadis.

* HumanMomNonHumanDad: His father was Lord of the Viridee; his mother was a cold-hearted daughter of a human African chieftain.
